Serious typing on your iPad tablet? This Bluetooth Keyboard has it covered. Our handsome portfolio case features a built-in wireless keyboard that lets you tap out emails, blog entries or online posts at laptop speed while still accessing built-in cameras and ports. The fold-up design even holds your tablet at a perfect viewing angle for reading, browsing or watching movies. New rubberized material looks great while providing a better grip–and that means your iPad takes fewer drops.

I'm a student and typically lug around my heavy laptop to class and through the airport. 90% of the time, all I need my laptop for is word processing capabilities. As soon as I got my iPad, I bought this case, and I don't use my laptopt too much anymore.

The case is sturdy and my iPad feels secure in it (won't pop out of the plastic ones or break if dropped). I got the red color, which is fun. I have small hands so the keyboard is PERFECT. The right shift key is awkward and takes a little getting used to, but two days of practice was all it took for me. The keys are very satisfying and click like on a laptop. The Blutooth was easy to set up and has thus far been reliable. I recommend turning the power switch on the keyboard off when you aren't using it to preserve battery, although the keyboard supposedly goes 90 hours on a full 4.5 hour charge.

Homework all of a sudden is a joy for me because I can write my papers on my iPad (I recommend the Pages app for this), and my backpack is so much lighter when I commute to class. I recommend this to anyone who is a student or does a lot of writing for work or pleasure.

I bought this because I was frustrated with the on-screen iPad keyboard that offers no touch feedback, and I wanted an external keyboard to make typing easier. I liked this one because the keyboard is rigid unlike the silicone ones, and because it comes in the stylish case that lets me take the keyboard with the iPad everywhere.

However, the keyboard is small and cramped. I had hoped to eliminate typos by using this keyboard, but because it was so tiny, I was actually making more. The typing experience is uncomfortable, even with the iPad on a desk. It is completely unsuitable for lap use because of the flap in front of the keyboard, which does not conveniently fold under the keyboard.

Overall, the typing experience left too much to be desired for me - primarily because of the crampiness of the keyboard. I imagine that it would still be ideal for someone who wants to use the iPad more like a laptop and is willing to get used to the tiny keyboard. I recommend trying out the keyboard in the store and seeing if you'll be able to deal with the tiny-ness before you buy.

Comments about Bluetooth® Keyboard with Tech-Grip Case for iPad® Tablets:

I am not sure why I see all these negative comments as I purchased this item 8 years ago and only now am seeing some "wear and tear". It keeps my ipad safe and secure and makes its easy for travel. Brookstone was easy to deal with when " thought, I had a problem with my bluetooth setup. They exchanged it for free! Best purchase I ever made, great quality item.

I bought one five years ago and it was great. So with confidence I bought this case again at full price in 2014. Within 3 weeks the case tore in two places and the frame was bending and breaking and this was with minimal use in 3 weeks from purchase. When bringing it back for return, I noticed the price was halved from 3 weeks ago. No wonder -- it is not worth it at any price or even for free. Save yourself the trouble, time and expense until Brookstone carries a more reliable case as they had five years ago.

Comments about Bluetooth® Keyboard with Tech-Grip Case for iPad® Tablets:

This is the 3rd keyboard case I've had. As with the previous 2 the the keyboard works great, but the case is really a piece of garbage. The original case I bought was the leather case and it lasted almost a year before starting to come apart. I contacted Brookstone and they replaced it with no hassle. When I received the replacement the stitching on the tabs that hold the iPad in place was undone and wouldn't hold the iPad. I contacted Brookstone and again they were very helpful and had no problem sending out a replacement. Unfortunately, the leather case with the permently attached keyboard was no longer available so they said they would replace it with the Tec cover version. What a piece of garbage. I had this product for maybe an hour before the case started peeling on the edges. Plus your hands feel like they're covered in rubber. Don't waste your time or money on the Tec cover.

Comments about Bluetooth® Keyboard with Tech-Grip Case for iPad® Tablets:

This case has been very useful, I love the keyboard and I use it at work almost everyday. I take care of it and generally do not think I have been exceptionally hard on it- maybe I just got a lemon in terms of the case - pretty soon after I bought it the creases started to peel. I could live with this and did for many months but now the case is peeling in various places and in the creases . This was not a cheap product and being Brookstone I would have expected better. Disappointed as I can't just remove the keyboard and buy a new case and it looks very unprofessional .
